Sinn Féin Welcomes Marriage Equality Commitment

Sinn Féin has welcomed a commitment from Northern Ireland's Finance Minister in relation to marriage equality in the region.

MLA Catherine Seeley said: "I asked the Minister of Finance Máirtín Ó Muilleoir today about steps to bring forward marriage equality in the North.


"I welcome the fact the Minister reiterated his commitment to making progress on marriage equality by way of an Executive bill and indicated that he will seek Executive approval to move this forward.

"Marriage equality threatens no one and is a human right which everyone should be able to avail of. Sinn Féin is committed to ensuring that marriage equality is extended across the island."

Currently, Northern Ireland is the only region in the UK where same-sex marriage is against the law.
